Every play a team calls in the huddle is expected to work.
Think of how many of the same plays are called by the Pats in which some work, we remember those, and those that didn't, we slam the team for calling them. If every 4th down call was successful, we'd be saying "brilliant!".
Think back...
What no one knows is what chirping may have occurred within his family when he made his intentions known he would take the Colts job. He did intimate uprooting family now was a concern and may have been a nagging element. What Kraft and BB chirped into his ear after the SB, tipped the scale more...
If Eagles fans are to look at the same play with a Patriots' receiver with the catch, they'd all see what we see and say the refs gave the Pats a call.
Regardless of the calls, both offenses were chewing up the opposing defense. The Pats set records against that Eagles defense, too! Yet, but for that one critical stop, the strip sack, the only real good play the Philly defense made, they win. Most in the country probably felt Brady was going to...
But, they missed out on more playoff games than Brady. Since when is the expectation one HAS to win a SB to be considered great? One of the two teams HAS to lose and Brady did not lose that game.
There are some amazing stats that have come out of this game, especially from the Patriots' offense side of the ledger, that boggles the mind the team lost. But, when you take away what the offense did and focus on what the Eagles offense did, you would also say the Eagles handily won.
Even...
Defense I can agree with, but, piss poor coaching? This is the very same team that has been coached all the way to the Super Bowl and NOW you say there was piss poor coaching? The coaches did everything they can to prepare the team for the game. The failure is with the players who did not "do...
The only reason fans consider that last play call by Seattle stupid is because it didn't work and the Pats defense made the better play. If it worked, it would have been called a brilliant one when everyone was thinking they'd pound Lynch in there again.
Given the way QBs have fared against the Pats this season, Foles will get his yards, but, will he get scores for the Eagles? It is one thing to go up and down the field between the 20's and get garbage time yards and another to play well enough to win the game.
Even though Vegas has the Patriots as the favorite, there are so many puff pieces about the Eagles and how they are going to win, one can't help think the Pats might be the underdogs if you weren't aware of the Vegas odds.
There has been, again, an "anyone but the Patriots" winning the Super...
So, now that we are in Super Bowl week, what are the odds the majority of talking heads pick the Eagles to win it all? You just get this sentiment, in all the puff pieces we are seeing about the Eagles, there is a great yearning to see the Pats go down.
History is what it is. This is SB #10, overall, and #8 for the BB/TB duo. As much as we all would like to see the Pats win EVERY SB game they play in, you do lose some. Trading a couple wins for the sake of seeing the 18 - 1 team get the trophy and have that 19 - 0 record diminishes the efforts...
One thing the Patriots have going for them is the way the organization is structured to keep winning.
Some here commented about how the Pats lost their OC and DC after SB win #3 in 2005 and is likely to lose the same two men holding those positions after this season. The Pats may not make the...
This is the second year in a row in which both #1 seeds in the respective conferences have made the SB.
You have to look at how last week's games played out. The Pats had to grind out a win and play 60 minutes. They know how to come from behind to win and didn't get flustered making mistakes...
It will be interesting to see how this fan base will react to a Patriots team that will have up and down seasons like most of the NFL. But, considering how this organization has developed and the framework of winning that is in place, I do not see a Cleveland Browns type of scenario of many...
